Jean-Louis Butré is President of the
Sustainable Environment
Federation
.
This is no longer a legacy of the former five-year term but a will of the President who intervened so that nothing slows down the development of wind turbines by neutralizing the appeals of the 2000 protest associations from all regions of France, democratic movement if there is one, ignored at the top of the state.
After having declared that the onshore wind turbines encountered in his words "
problems of acceptability
", the "
at the same time
" quickly regained the upper hand, in view of the brutal measures which have been taken, to facilitate the installation of these metal devices. devastating, costly and unnecessary.
“I touch, you touch, he touches
” according to the popular expression, an unprecedented chain of interests explains the development of this new energy with one certainty: the French will pay!
Just look at the figures for the increase in the Electricity Tariff.
The yellow vests, who demonstrated against the carbon tax, will appreciate.
Let's try to decipher this chain of interests:
The promoter is delighted: his production will be bought back whatever happens for 15 years at a fixed rate which ensures him a dream profitability in these difficult times!
These promoters, rich and powerful, flood
advertising and the press
with
“
wind turbines
” and set the tone for the media.
The total cost of dismantling associated with the French program is estimated at 9 billion.
Who will pay?
The banker directs capital holders and savers towards this renewable energy with unexpected returns in this period.
Both appreciate the opportunity.
The mayor without whom nothing could be done, sees himself at first sight rewarded by the promoter.
From now on a private company can finance a municipal budget !!!
Obvious gain of course because the community will probably have to contribute one day to the dismantling.

The key part is the farmer, whose main income is suddenly changed.
The unexpected annual remuneration, linked to the establishment cannot be refused, it also excludes for the moment the dismantling (problem postponed until later), fixed for the principle today at a reserve of 60,000 euros whereas it is actually costing now between 400,000 and 500,000 euros.
The total cost of dismantling associated with the French program is estimated at 9 billion.
Who will pay?
There is therefore this chain of complicity necessary for the deployment of these machines where everyone "
touches
"!
And then there are the victims, those who will have to pay for these follies: it is first of all the electricity consumers condemned to see their electricity bill double in less than 10 years.
Moreover, we have just warned them that they must plan for cuts in their supply!
This is not surprising since wind turbines, which must partly replace our power stations, only produce less than 24% of the time.
Who speaks of the 1,500 to 2,500 m3 of reinforced concrete poured in the middle of the fields, the metal blades that some would like to bury after use, metals that cannot be recycled?
There is EDF, our big national company.
This tremendous company, through which we have had the cheapest and most reliable electricity in Europe for decades, is currently in trouble.
How would it be otherwise when the State obliges you to buy back the wind power KWH as a priority at an average price double that of the market.
It is up to him and that of the state to close the gap while also maintaining aid of 49 billion over 10 years to continue the deployment of 8000 onshore wind turbines not to mention the offshore wind turbines actually along the coasts, of which we we have no need if however we follow a strategy based on the preservation of the environment, biodiversity and the fight against greenhouse gases!

Our trade balance, already in bad shape, will be worsened.
Indeed, these metal devices are manufactured abroad.
Let us add that this sector does not create jobs.
It also damages the environment.
Because who is talking about the 1,500 to 2,500 m3 of reinforced concrete poured in the middle of the fields, the metal blades that some would like to bury after use, the non-recyclable metals used in the nacelles and finally the multiple disadvantages for the populations?
The thousands of associations which fight locally, are totally despised and ignored by the public authorities, the majority of elected officials and the President.
Also victims are homes impacted by authorized settlements from 500 meters, contrary to what is generally done in Europe (where the required distances are generally more than 1 km), which marks a total disrespect for rural people whose heritages suffer losses that elected officials pretend to ignore, as if a gigantic metallic device and noisy when it works could be of no consequence.
The ongoing Echauffour disaster in the Orne led a Prefect this week to stop a park with unbearable nuisance for the villagers.
A first that will set a precedent!
The thousands of associations which fight locally, are totally despised and ignored by the public authorities, the majority of elected officials and the President on whom everything depends.

"Political ecology leads to an environmental disaster"
Disinformation or silence is the fact today of the most powerful actors in the country, the big energy companies, the bankers, a large part of the environmentalists, the media divert the opinion of all these facts.
For this reason, this subject should be one of the issues at the heart of the presidential campaign.
Already hundreds of thousands of citizens are directly affected.
Their number is growing exponentially.
A few enlightened elected officials who love France, there remain, will have to ask for a thorough investigation into the entanglement of interests and people while continuing to deepen the work of the first parliamentary committee, the one which in its conclusions in 2019 affirmed that the wind turbines have no influence in the fight against global warming!
The height.
